God’s music is that of the heavenlies. It directs us in our steps and gives dance to our lives. If we go away from the beat measure, then we stumble about and sound like a five year old trying to bang out “Chopsticks” on the piano. As fun as that may be to the youngster, it causes disharmony in those around us.

From the movie “Amadeus”, we can see into the mind of a genius.

Mozart: Do you get it?

Salieri: No, wait

Mozart: Do you get it?

Salieri: No. You are going too fast!

Mozart: F#, B, C minor, B flat. Back to the twenty-third measure.

Salieri: Yes, yes!

Mozart: Do you get it?

At this point, Salieri pulls away and looks at what he just wrote down.

Mozart: Do you get it? Read it back to me.

Salieri: It’s beautiful. I would have never imagined doing that before.

Mozart: Good, good. (As he slumps back into his bed.)

I believe that’s how God acts with us when we are faced with one of life’s puzzling riddles. He let’s us in on a tidbit here and there and then ask, “Do you get it?”

He keeps giving us clues on how to live life and sometimes we are just so caught up in the world before us that we don’t really notice anything else till we pull back and see the picture that the Lord had just painted for us. Then we say – “I would have never imagine in a million eons…”

That’s the way it is. If we can slow down our lives to hear the symphony that the Lord is playing in our hearts, we can rest in the marvel that is his glory.
